A pursuer UAV tracking and loitering around a target is the problemanalyzed in this work. The UAV is assumed to be a fixed-wing vehicle and constant airspeed together with bounded lateral accelerations are the main constraints of the problem. The pursuer motion control law proposed in this paper is based on the definition of an oscillatory motion created by a center of oscillation: it allows the pursuer...
Fuel optimization of fixed time hard rendezvous problem is studied. Optimal fuel is calculated by indirect and direct approaches respectively. The indirect approach is based on primer vector theory, and primer vector of transfer orbit is calculated and improved. A nonlinear optimization model is formulated for the problem of multiple-impulse rendezvous optimizing by direct approach, and the optimal...
This paper focuses on a critical component of the situational awareness, the control of autonomous vertical flight for an unmanned aerial vehicle. Autonomous vertical flight is a challenging but important task for tactical unmanned aerial vehicles to achieve high level of autonomy under adverse conditions. With the situational awareness strategy, we proposed a two stage flight control procedure using...
Ascent phase minimum time-to-climb trajectory optimization problem(TOP) is studied in the paper. To avoid the drawback of indirect methods and traditional direct methods, a new optimal control method-Gauss Pseudospectral Method(GPM) was used to transform the trajectory optimization problem into Nonlinear Program(NLP) problem. A initial guess strategy was proposed to improve the convergence rate of...

According to the design requirement of UAV (the unmanned aircraft vehicle), the models of threat, UAV's dynamics, guidance and trajectory planning are established. Trajectory planning adopts genetic algorithms (GAs) and genetic coding uses "distance, corner" program. Through simulating by Matlab/Simlink software, the result proves the trajectory planning according with dynamics, characteristic.
